"If Austin Ellis’ boyish charm and interactive stage presence fail to capture your immediate attention, wait for the first lyric. The area native fits the bill of what he calls “acoustic soul” and has the familiar style of singer/songwriters like John Mayer, but with the smooth, R&B influence of groups like Boyz II Men. In short, Ellis is soulful and refreshing."

““I am completely captivated by his music. I think he is really special.””

"So I've walked into the Austin Grill and find Austin Ellis with a guitar and a soft and subtle voice, provocative and relaxing, soothing and enchanting. I found myself hypnotized by his aura and delivery as I sat and watch his set. I find Ellis to be a story teller like none that I've experienced."

"I had heard that Austin was a great songwriter, but never heard him sing before. The first time I heard his voice I thought, 'No way, this is a joke, where's the hidden tape?' I was floored. You just never expect to hear that kind of voice right in front of you. It was unreal."
